and.. the backslashed worked too. Even using combinations of slashes and backslashes like this: "c:\windows/system"

How did you get it to work? I have tried to add the same code to my httpd.conf and I have tried to edit my hosts file in the system32/etc dir but I can't get it to work! when I open /windows.localhost/ I get /localhost/ ^^
